According to this budget we have $8,766 left in contractual expenses. Can you verify this for me? I would <br />like to work with Adam to have him pay this amount to Anderson as a part of the plant establishment that <br />we will be making this month (which I believe will be about $10k). That contract was set up to pay with <br />both OWEB and NOAA grant funding, so I think it makes sense to charge the $8,766 that is left in the <br />OWEB grant to this contract and then pay the remainder with NOAA funds. Otherwise I could have <br />Walama do some additional weed work that we can pay for with OWEB funding. <br /> <br />I guess one thing that I am not sure of is whether the Anderson contract was set up with a specific dollar <br />amount to be paid by the OWEB grant and if so, are we still within that dollar amount? Is that something <br />you can look up too? <br /> <br />As far as personnel costs, I charged some time to the grant when I conducted the plant survival <br />monitoring and analysis in September and October and suspect that we may be out of those funds too. I <br />assume that any hours that put us over budget on the personnel can be re-coded as match. <br /> <br />I left a message for Adam asking him when he needs to make the payment to Anderson, so will let you <br />know when I hear back from him. I also saw Tammy at a training yesterday and she asked me what we <br />had decided to do regarding payments to OWEB, so I know that she is thinking about it too. <br /> <br />Thank you! <br /> <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br />Lauri Holts <br />Natural Resources Enhancement Coordinator <br />City of Eugene Parks and Open Space Division <br />541-682-4925 <br />www.eugene-or.gov/naturalresources <br /> <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />
